GDT Game 66: VS Devils, Saturday, March 11, 7PM EST

[GEEMAN]

I appreciated Anderson more after seeing him live at the Bell Centre back in February. Different perspective. You have to put up with his occasional judgement errors I guess, but he brings stuff to the table that we have sorely lacked this century. Like the ability to play hard hockey in tough games, and having a pair of hands to go with it for a change.

Right player for when team is ready to compete , not the Habs

 

[Sal_Butera]

He’s exactly the right age to join a contender right now. Contract is more amenable to move at draft or during summer; he won’t be cheap so I imagine potential counterparties will want opportunity to move money around. It’s too hard to do at trade deadline.

Yet - NYR (Gorton) resigned Kreider (same age) at the the start of their rebuild

 

[CH1]

Kreider is way better.

 

[lecoqsportif]

And we’re obviously in a very different situation than the Rags who literally have star players throwing themselves at their feet.

 

[Krustchev]

Kreider is way better.

He’s the better scorer, obviously, but Anderson is way more physical than him.

 

[worm]

He’s a very good player, despite what some here believe. And he’s not old . . . yet. But I would probably trade him for a first round pick if there was a player at the draft that I was targeting and he was still available.

So was Gallagher

 

[CH1]

He’s the better scorer, obviously, but Anderson is way more physical than him.

I’ll take the goals, thank you.

Trading Josh for a first rounder or a Kirby Dach like prospect in the summer would suit me fine

 

[lecoqsportif]

So was Gallagher

Ugh. Disaster contract. He played ballz to the wallz for years, and so he’s broken. Anderson is much healthier.

 

[GEEMAN]

when he shows up once every 10 games

 

[GEEMAN]

Ugh. Disaster contract. He played ballz to the wallz for years, and so he’s broken. Anderson is much healthier.

And Nero cried and got stupid one day

A Suzuki deal was there 2 years before contract was up ......major fuck up

 

[GEEMAN]

Ugh. Disaster contract. He played ballz to the wallz for years, and so he’s broken. Anderson is much healthier.

but he works out and goes to the gym

 

[Krustchev]

Not true.

 

[TheCountofMonteCristo]

Kreider is way better.

at ending goalie careers

 

[GEEMAN]

Not true.

ok every 6

 

[CH1]

at ending goalie careers

Our fault for picking Louis L’etudiant instead of him

 

[TheCountofMonteCristo]

Our fault for picking Louis L’etudiant instead of him

he was higher ranked

 

[Sal_Butera]

So was Gallagher

Gallagher never ever had the wheels - and Anderson’s injury history has never had an impact on his legs / skating

You’re simply jaded, Anderson’s on track for a 25G season - he’s perfectly tailored for MSL heavy transition game.

Habs spent better part of last 35-years looking for a player of that ilk… yeah just deal him, so they can spend another 35-years looking for a big body w speed, 23G+ output and tenacious on the forecheck / transition

 

[CH1]

He’s perfectly tailored for a playoff team.

Buh Bye

Didn’t we draft a guy like that 1st overall?
